A New 3D Colon on a Chip to Decipher the Influence of Mechanical Forces on the Physiological Cellular Ecosystem

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
To dissect how mechanical forces influence intestinal physiology, we developed a stretchable 3D colon‐on‐chip that integrates tunable topography, stiffness and peristalsis‐like motion within a physiologically relevant microenvironment. We showed that stretching is a dominant factor governing epithelial behavior, markedly enhancing proliferation and ...

A Comparative Analysis of Influenza Vaccination Programs [PDF]

, 2006
The threat of avian influenza and the 2004-2005 influenza vaccine supply shortage in the United States has sparked a debate about optimal vaccination strategies to reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality caused by the influenza virus.

PiP‐Plex: A Particle‐in‐Particle System for Multiplexed Quantification of Proteins Secreted by Single Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Detecting proteins secreted by a single cell while retaining its viability remains challenging. A particles‐in‐particle (PiPs) system made by co‐encapsulating barcoded microparticles (BMPs) with a single cell inside an alginate hydrogel particle is introduced.

Herd immunity and a vaccination game: An experimental study.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Would the affected communities voluntarily obtain herd immunity if a cure for COVID-19 was available? This paper experimentally investigates people's vaccination choices in the context of a nonlinear public good game.

Infection-Immunity Competition: A Simple Model for Illustrating the Background of Individual Response on Herd Immunity

Applied Sciences, 2020
For achieving herd immunity, the proportion of individuals who are immunized, and the proportion of susceptible individuals are normally regarded as the key factors.

Predicted changes in herd immunity levels against Rift Valley fever virus in livestock following a natural exposure [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) transmission gets elevated following periods of excessive and persistent rainfall. The average inter-epizootic period in Kenya has been estimated to be 3.6 years (range 1–7 years).

"Herd Immunity": A Rough Guide [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2011
The term "herd immunity" is widely used but carries a variety of meanings. Some authors use it to describe the proportion immune among individuals in a population. Others use it with reference to a particular threshold proportion of immune individuals that should lead to a decline in incidence of infection.

High‐Throughput In Vivo Screening Using Barcoded mRNA Identifies Lipid Nanoparticles With Extrahepatic Tropism for In Situ Immunoengineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐throughput in vivo mRNA LNP screening platform is developed and employed to screen a large library of 122 mRNA LNPs in vivo for delivery to immune, stromal, and parenchymal cells, identifying promising LNP candidates. A novel small particle flow cytometry‐based protein adsorption analysis method is utilized to interrogate protein corona ...

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HOG CHOLERA [PDF]

, 1959
I. WHAT IS HOG CHOLERA? Hog cholera is a deadly, contagious disease that attacks swine only. The disease is caused by hog cholera virus, an agent so small (1/250,000 of an inch) that it can even pass through a fine porcelain filter.
